@@MusiciansChaos You are right, they didn't need to and probably shouldn't have but then you and I have the luxury of hindsight and all the benefits that came from living in a country free from external conflict and a world kept relatively peaceful thanks, in part, to those tests.
I had worked with people, whose fathers had been there when the Mississippi tests were conducted, as well as being on the Rulison shot in Western Colorado, and my back to back, when I was in the North Sea, had been on the Nevada Test Site, during the underground tests, and I met a consultant who had been there when the hole for the Canniken test shot was drilled.
My uncle was a big part of that test. Whatever they set off there dropped the water table significantly. Almost overnight wells dried up, and small year round creeks became seasonal to this day. I remember.
I think it's very interesting. The data behind it in the early 90s, when the cold war ended and we officially stopped nuke. Testing the increase in seismic activity across the United States and states that never saw it before , very odd the Seismic activity Seemed to be on a schedule Just look at all the current Seismic activity going on in Texas Apparently. Earthquakes like to shake themselves early in the morning.Or after lunch time Almost if it were on a schedule
There were at least two, and possibly three conducted in western Colorado, one near Rulison, and the other(s) in Rio Blanco, County.@@RadioactiveRoadTrippinRR
Shame on the government, good info! Safe Travels 🚜👍🏼🇺🇸
They have to test them somewhere. Right?
@@horsetrader1991 No, they don't.

I live just a few miles from the test site, such an interesting little tidbit of atomic history!

They used the same hole for a non nuclear test, using Oxygen and Methane, project Miracle Play, according to Atomic Cafe.
There were not 7 undergrounds nukes. Project Miracle Play, at Tatum in '69 and '70 were not nuclear detonations.
The test series was not fully completed in Mississippi - there were detonations in Alaska and New Mexico as well.
Plus at least three in Colorado, one at Rulison, and two, or three at Rio Blanco.@@RadioactiveRoadTrippinRR
